Our Mission

ASOC is a 501-C3-community performing arts organization, based
in Astoria, Oregon. Since 1983, our mission has been and continues
to be to strengthen our community through cultural enrichment while
supporting regional economic growth. As the dean of local community
theaters, we serve Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington
through producing, educating, presenting and preserving local
Theater Performing Arts Culture and regional folklore primarily
through our annual summer melodrama SHANGHAIED IN ASTORIA, entering
its 25th season beginning July 9th 2009. ASOC performances take
place in the ASOC Playhouse on West Bond Street in the Uniontown
area of Astoria.

What We Do

For over 25 years ASOC has aspired to create shows that are
exceptional and reputable, for all ages and backgrounds, that
create a connection between artist and audience through live
theater, while at the same time, bringing cultural enrichment
through sharing local valued traditions. ASOC's strength as an
artistic force is to bring the live theater performances such as
SHANGHAIED IN ASTORIA to the people as its appeal plays to a wide
divergence of backgrounds which in turn, has created a public
devotion. We do this by sharing the folklore traditions of our
community through live action, song, dance, storytelling, history,
humor and interaction.
